The consequence is, that its proselytes arc yet uncertain about the result of the election. They are most anxious to believe, that it may be Gen. Harrison.but, as they are not acquainted with the flesh-marks, they are unable to pronounce with an}' sort of confidence. F or ins'ntice, when Gen.

The Richmond Whig & Co., will die game. They will play tht*.Jlarmiats, till the last hour they fret upon the Electioneering stage..The Whig is seized with the titlse prophet's fury; and reads, in the election of Van Boron, Abolition in the District,.a crusade against the South,.a dissolution of the Union,.or the murder of osr woman and children! Here is Agitation and Panic for you, in the highest style..The Telegraph follows up the blow; libs about what a Northern Van Buren man told hint the other day.and predicts an Iliad of woes to the South..These men are playing out their parts..The plot is, to gull the People, and defeat Van Buren..Does any Southron seriously believe, that"the North can drive the South to the wall?" Does not the North know better? Do we not all know that as soon as they dare to lay their hands upon the head of a black man in the District, much less in the States, the South will be in arms? That the Union cannot withstand the shock? Do we not know, tiial Mr. Van Buren is as much opposed to the Abolitionists as tbe Southrons ore? That his friends are with us that lie and they are pledged to stand by us, and put down the Abolitionists? The Whig Committee of Norfolk county have just issued a most infuriated Address, in which they charge Martin Van Buren with being "an Abolitionist in soul;" but this is an improved edition of all the slang of the Whig..It goes beyond what that paragon of decency once uttered Even he exempted Mr. V. B. last year from the folly of Abolitionism.and declared that he was too much a patriot to become one of its converts. But wiiat wiseacres these Whig Comniittee-men are! The Whig Central Committee declared, that "in his private mind" Mr. V. B. was opposed to the removal of the deposites. and here we have six Whigs of Norfolk county, presuming to read his most secret thoughts, and declaring him sin auouuonisi in soul: WHO maae tlicminc keepers of his conscience? Who dubbed them his inquisitors? By what ri«jht do they presume to know more of Mr. V. B., than his most intimate friends, among1 them the upright Butler, who declare, that he is opposed to the Abolitionists.or than himself, who solemnly avows himself ' the inflexible nnd uncompromising opponent" of any attempt to ineddle with slavery in the District of Columbia? Are we to put aside all these grave and solemn testimonials, in compliment to these arrogant wiseacres of Norfolk? One remark more.and we have done! The Whig Slang-whangers pretend to say, that the Abolitionists are friends to Mr. Van Buren. fl is "false as hell." Tappan and his crew are avowedly opposed to him. The most active and leading Abolitionists are all Whigs. We know the fact from a variety of sources. It was but yesterday that we were assured by a most intelligent and honorable man from Pennsylvania, that such was uniformly the case.that he did not know one leading Abolitionist who was nota Whig, and an Anti-Van Buren man.and that such were the politics of all the distinguished Quakers of Pennsylvania.The fact was notorious to the North .and lie wondered how any man dared to assert the contrary.. But the alarmists will go on with their systern of agitation, until the Ides of November. Then we shall have sonic little peace and some truth from the Whig presses. MA BY LAND. Our friends have not given up the ship. They are manning her nobly..The Frederick Citizen of the 28th, sums up from the last elections, and estimates Van Burcin's majority on Monday next, at 1500 at the least. It confidently aflirms as "its solemn opinion, that the friends of Van Buren can, if they are all vigilant, active and united, and at the polls, give to him the ten Electoral votes of Maryland!" MASSACHUSETTS. The Whigs begin to shiver in the wind. A gentleman who has just passed through the State, reports to the N. Y. Evening Post, that Van Buren may yet carry Massachusetts..Letters state that Webster and Everett are both alarmed, and are actually traversing the SlateWebster attending cattle shows, and buying mulberry trees.and Everett reviewing the militia..Webster is one of the last politicians, whose endorsement would be acceptable in a candidate of our choice. Elect his ticket, and it is turned over to Harrison. "Birds of a feather," S,-c. f V rv I I \T A A Postscript to the Indianapolis Democrat of the 20th October, gives many returns from Ohio and a few from Pennsylvania. It adds, "It will be seen that Harrison is not Vance. IVe are not at all disheartened. Indiana is sai-'k yon Van Burks." The following Letter in the Frederick (M.) Citizen adds assurance to the statement: Ej tract from a letter, (luted Vinrcnncs, Indiana, Oct. 17. "You will no doubt hear various rumors from this quarter in relation to political matters. The Whigs, Federalists and Bank men will tell you, that Harrison will get all the Western States.Believe not a word of it. With the exception of Kentucky.and 1 deem that a "mooted question".he will not get a single State. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, will as certainly give their volts to Van Buren, as New York. My means of knowing the true State of the question is equal to that of any one west. And I tell you candidly, honestly and sincerely, that Harrison, notwithstanding all the lies of his partizan presses, will get neither of the Western States, with the exception above mentioned. The West will do its duty.May Maryland do hers." Lessons from an Enemy! The Raleigh Register calls upon its Whig friends to muster in ail their strength at the polls. We adopt its imphatic invocation, and address it to our Republican friends, (mutatis mutandis:)."Let every mango to the Pulls .Let it not be said, that one vote can make no difference; for let it be borne in mind, that aggregates are made up of units..Let us bring out our whole strength! If we do so, the Stale can be carried (for) Van Buren, by 10,000 majority. We speak advisedly, for we have information from almost every section of the State. No iisatfection exists among our friends, in any quarter. The work tgoes bravely on.' Can the (Whig) organs joint to a single county, in which their vote will be incensed? We think not. Again then we say to the Rejublicans.A LONG PULL.A STRONG PULL. \ND A PULL AjLL TOGETHER!!" Mr. Van Buren s Catholicism. We promised some time since to expose this humbug. ind we have been lately reminded of it by a republican of lie West. We now lay before our readers the most condusive documents upon the subject. They will be found m our iast page. The Whig of this City has, of course, mblished the humbug.and its cunning followers have, if course, repeated it.with what truth and justice, let he public judge. " If (says the St. Clairsville Gazette if the 22<1 Ocluber,) there be any honorable, high-mind d men, who may unfortunately belong to their ranks, me would think thai a reflection upon the unhallowed nd unprincipled artifices, which are in daily requisition nd incessant use by them, to carry their points, would o disgust them, as to see the necessity and prudence of brsaking so desperate and rotten a cause, in soine ecliuns of country, some of the Whig prints have oscrted that Mr. Van Buren was a Methodist, and hence hey say 'his facility in bawu.vo out glokv.' The (Hum and derision, which is thus wickedly attempted 0 lie heaped upon that respectable denomination of Christians, will, we doubt not, recoil upon its authors nd abettors.and be spurned, and frowned down with onlempt, by the members of that numerous and honorble sect of the christian community." The Whig's logic is as false as its facts. We praised Jen. Harrison once for his military services. Have we etractcd a single expression thai we used 22 years ago? hi the contrary, have we not distinctly disclaimed every uleniion, every wish, to pluck a single laurel from his row?.But because he has done the State some service 1 the military line, does it therefore follow that he is ossessed of any civil qualification? Because he may ave gained some eclat as a General, does it follow that e is fit for a President.Still more, that one, who is a ederalist in his opinions and measures.ultra in his oposilion to the great Stale Rights School of Virginia. aving scarcely one principle in common with her. muld be selected to administer the Government? The otion is preposterous. But Virginia will never vote r a man, who on almost every great question has voted gainst her principles. The two Competitors ! Whilst Gen. Harrison was parading through Pennsylania and New York, Mr. Van Buren was quietly enmnccd at the village of Oswego. " We have accidentally eard (says the Oswego Observer of Wednesday week) lat the \ ice President arrived at this place on Thursay of last week, and left on Monday morning last, in ie packet."~DoeB not hie retirement protect him from Bank, whose carpets were "too nice to be soiled with the footsteps of Plebeians.and, therefore, none hnd the pre- sumption to call on his honor, unless they were particular- ly invited!".And the Evening Star litis the modesty to mend the matter by the remark, that "Mr. Van Buren is a person that docs not (ike to shorn himself brforc the people from whom he is soliciting; the highest honor in their gilt." j These Whigs are determined to find fault, let Mr. Van iiuren do what he may. If he visits Albany, why he is allowing himself to the people, for the sake of election- | coring. If he retires to Oswego, Oh, then he "does not lilec In show himself before the jicn/ile, from whom he is sol.ei'ing the highest honor in their gift." Mr. V. B. must he a much greater magician than he is said to he, if he should ever he able to do any one thing to please any one of the Whigs. The Republicans of Virginia can enter into Resolutions as well as the Whigs of the Green Mountains: Therefore, 1. Itcsolved, That we can he at t he double headed ticket 2. lir.solprd, That we mill beat it. To the Polls, then, Jit publicans ! to the Polls! O* Gen Severs E. Paukf.r, of Northampton, died on the 21st October, in the 50th year of his age. lie was formerly a Representative in Congress from Virginia.and recently n distinguished Delegate from his county in the State Legislature. The Whigs will die in the last ditch.They still aflect to hope for Pennsylvania. Children might as well expect by crying to catch the moon. Her vote is as fixed as fate.

It will not be considered invidious to say, that you have never been surpassed by any member of this Confederacy, for firm, uniform and consistent support of the equal principles which mark and distinguish the Democratic parly. Nor have you been less distinguished for your zealous and unwavering devotion to the Constitution,as it came Iroin the hands of the fathers of our political church. You have lived above the petty conflicts that agitate other communities, and have observed a port and bearing, that have given stability to honor, and dignity to independence. Standing upon this broad and commanding elevation, you have wielded a moral influence, that the proudest have not been ashamed to honor, and the humblest have felt with pride. To preserve, unbroken, this enviable character, is not less your duty, than it is your interest. Will you continue to be faithful to those high obligations? You are passing a severe ordeal, and the elections of the 7th of November for President, will test your fidelity. There are three candidates for this dignified otlice.all of them distinguished and honorable men: but, such are the superior qualifications and paramount claims of one, that they seem most to demand your consideration. Mr. Van Buren has long been considered the popular candidate for the Presidency; an l, until an Opposition was organised, it was thought that he would carry the election by default. To defeat him, is now the hope and effort of every movement. Faction has essayed not only to dun llie lusire ol ins character, uut tu destroy it. Venality has poured out its turbid stream to overwhelm him.and the envious have stooped from high places to dishonor and blast him. Vet, where do you litid him, in despite of this relentless crusade ? The incumbent of the second office under the Government, nnd the leading candidate for the first. If but a modicum of what is said to injure Mr. Van fiuren were true, he could never have reached his present position: nor, without strong and positive merit, could he have risen, through every giade of professional and political life, to that eminence which he has attained in both.and that, too, when the liar of his j State was crowded and adorned with its gieatest strength, and its political campaigns commanded by captains who stand immortalized on the page of history..It would be an imputation on the morals and the understanding of the people, to have honored him with all that they Had to give, if he were the mere thing that his adversaries represent him to be. No; it is repugnant to common sense and every induction of reason, to see cause and ef- feci so diametrically opposed. Surrounded, as Mr. Van liuren is, by a lynx-eyed Opposition, anxious to defeat him, what charge have they ever brought against him, that was not either venial in its character or false in its allegations r Ingenuity and corruption have not been backward in their work, and they have been sfgnally dicomfitled. Not one act of his life is shaded by dishonor; and his highest grade of offence is, that he has not thought on many points of national policy, as some others have.arid that he has been stead- fast in the support of the principles and supremacy of the party to which he belongs. Trace Mr. Van Buren through the many and import- ant offices that he has filled, and you will find that he left them all with increased reputation for the ability and urbanity with which he discharged their respective duties. To reason from the results of the past to the prospects of the future, is a sound dictate of reason and policy. Upon this principle, you iiave the surest guarantee for all that you could require at the hands of your Chief Magistrate. Mr. Van Buren comes before you with many claims that you should, and no doubt that you will, delight to honor. As n statesman, lie holds a rank equal lo the most distinguished of his cotemporaries, gained in the same conflicts, and proved by iiis many triumphs, liis construction of the Constitution, (which is the sheet anchor of our whole polity,) his views of national poli- cy, and the principles winch identify him with tiie great Democratic family, are in exlenso those which are pro- nounced orthodox 111 Virginia. Throughout all the trials and temptations of the vast theatre upon which lie has borne so conspicuous a part, his vestments are without spot or blemish.his habits, feelings, associations and indulgences are all gentlemanly, and his commerce with every grade of society is marked by great blandness, courtesy and good feeling, lie cherishes no bad pas- sions, and he achieves with address, moderation, sagacity and imperturbable rrood nature, what others attempt with more boldness, more impulsion, less judgment and less consistency. And this is the secret of that magical pow- er, for which his adversaries have so much taunted hint. In justice to Mr. Van IJuren, and injustice to your- j ' selves, you are bound to canvass his qualifications with impartiality; biassed by no prejudice, and influenced by no indirection. This scrutiny will satisfy you that the many charges industriously circulated to his prejudice or from ignorance of his true character, or the inventions of ungenerous and ignoble adversaries. Ue has risen too fast, and has been too much in the way of others, not to have such enemies, and they have mullipled in the ratio of his advance. In this he has shared the fate of: those whom y u have most delighted to honor.Your Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe had their revilers; but through good and through evil report you stood by tliein as by your country s rights, nor ever ' deserted them until the dilapidating hand of time pulled down these pillars from our temple. Tu the same devoted and mugnanimous people Mr. Van Buren now appeals, and if lie has no Virginia birth-right to recommend him a to you as they had, nor any Revolutionary services to ' canonize his name as they had, yet, his country thinks " he has claims and recommendations, and the appeal is made to you upon his own merits, fairly examined and justly appreciated. j ' Jf lie shall be the choice of the nation, vnu have his j pledge-, that in all the essentials of the present Ad minis- 1 tration, he will use his exertions to carry out its policy. This policy has been tested by its success, and that is to ' be seen in the prosperity that every where smiles upon ; our land, and in the ample f ruition of ail that constitutes national happiness. CATO. ! j Truth against the perversions of WHiGcr.nr. j ' The mispresentalions of Mr. H'barlon. alluded loin th« ^ following letter, are so gross and shameless, that we 1 wonder how any man can be so far infuriated evrn by the violence of parly spirit, as to reconcile it to his own ^ feelings to utter them. Is this the way by which the f Whigs expect to beat usr How discreditable would even J a victory be, if gained by sucb means!.Rut they can- 6 not succeed. These Whigs count too much on the gul- libilitv and ignorance of the People. They do not de- a serve llic insult which is llius otfyred to their understand- c ings.

We are too well ac- ' quainled with his talents, not to know that his vindica- 0 lion of Mr. Van liuren was most satisfactory, and his re- futation of the Whig orator in >sl triumphant. TO THE EDITOR OE THE E.YQUJRER. ll BEDFORD COUNTY. Bedford, 25lh Oct., 163U. I " I was at Bedford Court on yesterday, and witnessed j the most warm and animated discussion on the subject of the approaching Presidential election I have ever h heard, it was conducted by John A. Wharton, Esq., n one of the Whig orators of Liberty, who assailed the C Democratic candidate, Mr. Van Buren's public and private character for more than half an hour, in the most unsparing manner with many epithets of abuse.he de- si clarcd him utterly unworthy the confidence or support p of any body: That he was the candidate of the Dicta- e lion party.was attached to, and acted with the Federal li parly.against the war, &c declared him a high Tariff man, {an Abolitionist, an advocate of lhe"U. States tl Bank, Missouri Reslrictionisl; against Mr. Madison for e President, and many other similar assertions. He assail- d ed R. M. Johnson as a practical amalgamations!, with u much more such abuse. He then extolled White and n Harrison greatly.gave a passing-shot at President Jackson.his electioneering tour to Tennessee, and wound V up by saying, he had much more to say but felt and saw V the people were tired and impatient. ll "Win. Cook, Esq., who heard all he said, and took a few notes, rose to reply under obvious dejection of spi fe rits. He commenced by stating his aversion to engaging tr in such discussions, declared himself wholly unprepared, w and adverted to a very recent family afBction, which A unfitted him for such a task; but declared that the views and representations of men and measures jnst presented u to the "voters of this county, were so glaringly and pal- n dales which they supported, remain silent under the obloquy and odium which had so wantonly been lavished upon them. He adverted very handsomely to the high and paramount motives of patriotism which prompted the Republican party as well as the modern Belf-styled Whigs, to act with caution and circumspection, in the selection of the two highest officers in the Government, and pledged himself to prove, by documentary evidence and the journals of.legislation, that the views just presented by his friend; Mr. Wharton, of the candidates on both sides were erroneous. He replied to the many objections and broad assertions made against Mr. Van liu ren as above staled.enumerated the several important Legislative, Executive,arid Ministerial offices, both Stale and National, which lie had filled, und the manner in which he had acquitted himself in each; pronounced a handsome eulogium on his private virtues, liberal and tolerant views towards others; his zeal, talents and patriotism; indeed, he presented him in a more attractive light than I had ever before seen him, and painted his course, conduct and opinions in glowing colors..He then took up Judge White and Gen. Harrison.their course and opinions; dealt mildly with the former, admitted his consistency and patriotism, until since he had fallen into the embraces of the Whigs, whose embraces of a Democrat by his consent, was certain death to him. He (hen proved, by extracts from the Journal of the Senate of the United States, that Gen. Harrison was always a Federalist and always acted with them; contrasted his and Van Buren's votes in that body with obvious effect; invoked the union of all patriots in this election; exposed the object of the doubleticket Itcre, a White ticket in Pittsylvania, a Harrison ticket in several Western counties. And wound up with a beautiful panegyric on the present Administration, its course anil etFeele mill Van ttnri.n's aift nnrl alinnnrl nf its leading measures, and his avowed determination to carry out its course and measures. Upon the whole, its effect was obvious, and although the Opposition calcn laled on a most triumphant majority, of from 3 to 400 in Bydfnrd, from that day's discussion, I should not be surprised if Maj. Cook's effort reduced it to 100 or less.. But, nous vcrrons.' D E M OC RATI"C CON V ENTION.

Gentlemen:.Your communication of the 7th instant, advising me of my nomination, by the Convention assembled at King George Court Mouse, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for this Congressional District at the ensuing election, was received by me on Saturday last; and though 1 duly appreciate the honor conferred on me by the Convention, 1 sincerely regret that some candidate (other than myself,) had not been selected, whose acquaintance in the District would be more extensive than my own; feeling, as I do, confident, there are many from whom such a selection could have been made, who would be more suited to engage in an . active can vass, and if elected, better qualified to represent the District, than myself. For, neither my health nor pursuils, will permit me to devote as much time in forming such an acquaintance in the District, as 1 consider necessary to ensure success in the undertaking. And I would now, gentlemen, greatly prefer, (if there be any practicable mode.) that the name of some other person in the District, belonging to the Democratic Republican party, should be substituted in the place of mine, if, however, you should consider such a course at this lime would be impolitic, 1 shall no longer feel myself at liberty to decline the nomination.

Kow.nsi,ar, Secretary. AMHERST COUNTY. At a meeting of a portion of the Republican Corresponding Committee for the county of Amherst, held at the Court-house of said county on the JOth of September. 1630, at which Chis.well Dabney, the chairman of said committee, presided, and Joseph Pettyjohn (having been appointed for the purpose) acted as Secretary, the following preamble and resolutions were unnunously adopted, and by the committee respectfully submitted to the impartial consideration of their Republican brethren, and especially lo the liberal and candid of all parlies generally.. This committee, bearing in mind that great canon of political ethics, -'that public liberty can no where be bo safely trusted as in the hands of the people themselves," and that its price is "perpetual vigilance," cannot regard that man who has a vole lo bestow, and who docs not bestow it upon the individual, or individuals, whom, according lo the dictates of bis own unbiassed judgment, lie shall consider most mar thy, as having discharged bis duty to his country or to his own conscience.but would look upon him as better qualified lo sustain the corruptions ol' an imperial Court, than to be the citizen of a free Government. The committee, well aware of the devices which dtsigning demagogues practice, lo mislead and deceive the less informed and more unsuspicious portions of the community, and to cause them to cumpromit their own best interests.would say to all such, " hear both sides," and then pursue the course, which, with a view single to your country's good, you as honest men, not acting for yourselves alone, but for posterity, shall conceive most conducive to the lasting prosperity of the free institutions under which you live.institutions, which have heretofore secured to you, blessings, civil and political, without a parallel in the annals of the world, and which should not be heedlessly thrown away, or put in jeopardy to humour the caprice or inflate the ambition of any puliticol asjiiru/U, his aiders or abettors. The Committee arealsoaware that the question naturally arises, how are the people to distinguish between the good and the bad, the right and the icrong? and here the answer again recurs, '-hear both sides," and then choose fur yourselves that tcliich you think best, without fear, favor or a fleet ion. (as is the bounden duty of every freeman having a common interest in the destinies of our beloved country.) In whatever we do. circumstanced as we now are, there is but one safe rule.and that is, SKVKR TO DISCARD THIRD AND FAITHFUL SKRYANTS, as a mere matter of political speculation, without calculating the cost before hand, and arriving at something like a moral certainty that, by so doing, our condition will not bo made worse, but probably better. The committee would address their fellow-citizens of lie county of Amherst in the spirit of candor and frank- I less. Feeling a lively and, as they trust, a patriotic increst that the old county of Amherst, their abiding-place, | 10 lately disenthralled Iron) the bonds of Ancjf.nt Fld- ( :ra lism, may not again fall under its dominion, but may ( naintain the ground she basso nobly taken by the side of 1 ier Republican sisters of the Slate.the committee would J snnjure you, by all the ties of political affinity and love of ( lountry, tbatyou examine well the ground upon which ( fou stand, anil be sure that you are not on the brink of a < irecipice, where, allured by the syren songs of W higgery, he next step may precipitate you into an abyss from j vhenceyou cannot escape. Remember that "all is not jold that glitters".that you are now in the 6th yearofthe Administration of that war-worn veteran, whose councils, is foretold, " though pure as angels of light, must be ipposed, ' and over whose whole course brooding mi*- f ihief has been made to spread her boding wings.yrt jj ic is the same Andrew Juikson still, unscathed and an- * ubdued.and that the country, in despite of political oothsayers, and those who prophesy what they resolve I hall come to pass, has ripened into a full harvest of po- J ilical blessings, prosperity and happiness, beyond all lor- j ner example. In a few short weeks, fellow-citizens, the g 'mantle of Elijah" must be cast on some successor.but * vlielher for good or for evil, depends on the choice the J shall mnUp for themselves. On the part of the Republicans.the Republicans of the Jefferson Madison, V .nd Jackson school.we offer you an Electoral Ticket, v at once simple, single and csihsgoised, carrying on < ts face but one meaning.) for the Hon. MARTIN VAN f' 3UREN, of New York, as I'residwit, and for the Hon. ' VILLIAM SMITH, of Alabama, as Vfce President of " he United States.who stand bound, by every pledge n vhich can bind the consciences of men, that, in the 1 vent of their election, the Government in their hand* b hall continue to be administered upon the principles of heir Republican predecessors, and that the principal . neasures which have distinguished the prevent, shall be * arried out in the succeeding Administration. On the * ithcr hand, our adversaries promise nothing but undying 7>position to the Government as now administered, and j. lostility to Martin Van Buren. But to whose hands 0 his work of desolation is to be confided, they do not, ecause they cannot, tell you. It may be Gen. Harrison, f genuine Old Federalist of the "Boston stamp," whose ontempurary of the same stamp, in the person of Henry l Jlay, (a better patriot, and more talented man,) you lave thrice rejected; or it may be Judge White, the rice of whose political virtue, as has been well tested, 5 the office of Chief Magistrate, or the mere chance of; i. This will be determined as you may dispose of the tl Siamese Ticket".the While, Harrison, or Union Tick- d t, as it may be found most convenient to denominate L.a beautiful article in the hands of experienced par- izans to be passed off upon the unwary and unsusecting as a While or Harrison Ticket.as the ocasion may require,. Whilst it is, in reality, a fulliooded Whig Ticket, designed for effect, and fabricated it the purpose, by the late Harrison Convention, eld at Staunton, which dissolves the solemn pledge ira- f osed on the " Whig Electors" by the Legislative Cauus of the last winter, as we are bound to suppose; beause up to this time no one of the Electors has been eard to say, "I haze neither part nor lot in this mutter." 7 ferily, fellow-citizens, if you can be induced to chaffer, C. Williams, be appointed a committee to prepare an address to the Republican voters of this county, urging them to come to the polls and re-assert those Democratic principles, so long and gloriously maintained by them. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Woodstock Sentinel and Shenandoah and Page Advertiser. DAVID CRAWFORD, Chairman. Samuel C.

Kuwnslar appointed Secretary; and on motion it was Resulted, That a Committee of Vigilance be appointed at the different precincts, and at Martinsburg, for the purpose of urging upon their Democratic fellow-citizens, the importance of attending the election on the 7th of November next, and casting their votes in favor of the Democratic Electors for President and Vice President and suicidal device, and be tempted by sheer partisan considerations to barter away the proud " birui-rishl" secured to you by the toil and blood of your forefather*, then indeed the Republic may be said to be leaning on crutches, and tottering to its final dissolution. IVe believe and hope for belter things; and for ourselves, are content that the Government shall be well administered in the hands of the succeeding as of the present rulers, leaving to others the privilege of doing better if they can, by the introduction into our system of untried, danI gerous, and to say the least of them, doubtful, and equii vocal means. 1 Resolred, That, in the opinion of this Committee, no man entitled u> the right o| suffrage in a popular Government, can, with any pretensions to political conI sistency, fiwr dealing, justice or propriety, cast his vote for an "Jiltcrunlive lickct' betwe< n two candidates, ('such as Judge White and Gen. Harrison.) who have no principle in common with each other, on all the leading questions which divide the political parties of the day.but would regard all such as enemies to social order, enlightened policy, and love of country. 2. Resolved. That this Committee have an abiding confidence in the Republican principles, wisdom, virtue, and patriotism of the Hon. Martin Van Buren,of New York, and the Hon. Wm.

He died on tho 15th inst., at Holy Spring, his sent, in King At Queen county.aged 58 yeats. He left a most affectionate wife and two fond children to lament his loss. Frionda he had mnny; for, in the various departments of husband, fathsr, brother, friend, and master, lie was all that could have been desired in any man. C.ipt. Ho-It ins served his countr) with tidelity and ability, both in a civil and military capacity; and at the lime of his death, was the presiding Magistrate of his peunty, in the ditcharfc of vhick ditto, he was ever found the friend of the pour, thu itidoic and tht orphan. . In politics, Capt. Hoskins was a lirm and undeviating Republican, of the JelTerson school. But the pen of so humble an individual, as he who now attempts to portray his character, is totally incompetent to do justice to that of so good a man. For, in his mind horned the lamp of truth; from his heart rose the incenso of honor, and through his actions flowed tbo worm stream of benevolence.. But, alas!

It was the preservation of the Union, ami not the p(triumph of a politic .1 parly, that we thought of. The Star was coolt»a the subject in those days, when nothing wns to lie gained in a po a

Put it Ims opposed thctn, as we have, on groundsapart trom those of party politics.

The FIcshmarJcs.doubted.'The Whig persists in concealing its Jlesh warlis. The

consequence is, that its proselytes arc yet uncertainabout the result of the election. They are most anxiousto believe, that it may be Gen. Harrison.but, as theyare not acquainted with the flesh-marks, they are unableto pronounce with an}' sort of confidence. F or ins'ntice,when Gen. Harrison arrived at Wheeling on tire Si2d, onIris rapid tour from Charles City to Cincinnati, ria I'lllad' lphia, N York, &c., &.<; , he was addressed hy a Dr.J. W. Clements,on hehalfofthe citizens of South Wheeling.andit is amusing enough to compare the oracularpredictions of the It.

What! not even "the keen eye of the discernment" ofthe Whig can "clearly rec the result." For shame, Dr.Clemcnls.for shame! thus to discredit the discernmentof your own oracle.

More Panic.The Richmond Whig & Co., will die game. They will

play tht*.Jlarmiats, till the last hour they fret upon theElectioneering stage..The Whig is seized with thetitlse prophet's fury; and reads, in the election of VanBoron, Abolition in the District,.a crusade against theSouth,.a dissolution of the Union,.or the murder ofosr woman and children! Here is Agitation and Panicfor you, in the highest style..The Telegraph follows upthe blow; libs about what a Northern Van Buren man toldhint the other day.and predicts an Iliad of woes to theSouth..These men are playing out their parts..The plotis, to gull the People, and defeat Van Buren..Does anySouthron seriously believe, that"the North can drive theSouth to the wall?" Does not the North know better?Do we not all know that as soon as they dare to lay theirhands upon the head of a black man in the District, muchless in the States, the South will be in arms? That theUnion cannot withstand the shock? Do we not know,tiial Mr. Van Buren is as much opposed to the Abolitionistsas tbe Southrons ore? That his friends are with us

that lie and they are pledged to stand by us, and putdown the Abolitionists?The Whig Committee of Norfolk county have just issueda most infuriated Address, in which they chargeMartin Van Buren with being "an Abolitionist in soul;"

but this is an improved edition of all the slang of theWhig..It goes beyond what that paragon of decencyonce uttered Even he exempted Mr. V. B. last year fromthe folly of Abolitionism.and declared that he was toomuch a patriot to become one of its converts. But wiiatwiseacres these Whig Comniittee-men are! The WhigCentral Committee declared, that "in his private mind"Mr. V. B. was opposed to the removal of the deposites.and here we have six Whigs of Norfolk county, presumingto read his most secret thoughts, and declaring himsin auouuonisi in soul: WHO maae tlicminc keepers

of his conscience? Who dubbed them his inquisitors?By what ri«jht do they presume to know more of Mr. V.B., than his most intimate friends, among1 them the uprightButler, who declare, that he is opposed to the Abolitionists.orthan himself, who solemnly avows himself' the inflexible nnd uncompromising opponent" of anyattempt to ineddle with slavery in the District of Columbia?Are we to put aside all these grave and solemn testimonials,in compliment to these arrogant wiseacres ofNorfolk?One remark more.and we have done! The Whig

Slang-whangers pretend to say, that the Abolitionists arefriends to Mr. Van Buren. fl is "false as hell." Tappanand his crew are avowedly opposed to him. The mostactive and leading Abolitionists are all Whigs. We knowthe fact from a variety of sources. It was but yesterdaythat we were assured by a most intelligent and honorableman from Pennsylvania, that such was uniformlythe case.that he did not know one leading Abolitionistwho was nota Whig, and an Anti-Van Buren man.andthat such were the politics of all the distinguished Quakersof Pennsylvania.The fact was notorious to the North.and lie wondered how any man dared to assert thecontrary.. But the alarmists will go on with their systernof agitation, until the Ides of November. Then weshall have sonic little peace and some truth from the Whigpresses.

MA BYLAND.Our friends have not given up the ship. They are

manning her nobly..The Frederick Citizen of the 28th,sums up from the last elections, and estimates Van Burcin'smajority on Monday next, at 1500 at the least. Itconfidently aflirms as "its solemn opinion, that thefriends of Van Buren can, if they are all vigilant, activeand united, and at the polls, give to him the ten Electoralvotes of Maryland!"

MASSACHUSETTS.The Whigs begin to shiver in the wind. A gentlemanwho has just passed through the State, reports to

the N. Y. Evening Post, that Van Buren may yet carryMassachusetts..Letters state that Webster and Everettare both alarmed, and are actually traversing the SlateWebsterattending cattle shows, and buying mulberrytrees.and Everett reviewing the militia..Webster isone of the last politicians, whose endorsement would beacceptable in a candidate of our choice. Elect his ticket,and it is turned over to Harrison. "Birds of a feather,"S,-c.

A Postscript to the Indianapolis Democrat of the 20thOctober, gives many returns from Ohio and a few fromPennsylvania. It adds, "It will be seen that Harrisonis not Vance. IVe are not at all disheartened. Indianais sai-'k yon Van Burks." The following Letter in theFrederick (M.) Citizen adds assurance to the statement:Ej tract from a letter, (luted Vinrcnncs, Indiana, Oct. 17."You will no doubt hear various rumors from this quarterin relation to political matters. The Whigs, Federalistsand Bank men will tell you, that Harrison will get all

the Western States.Believe not a word of it. With theexception of Kentucky.and 1 deem that a "mootedquestion".he will not get a single State. Ohio, Indiana,Illinois, and Missouri, will as certainly give theirvolts to Van Buren, as New York. My means ofknowing the true State of the question is equal to that ofany one west. And I tell you candidly, honestly and sincerely,that Harrison, notwithstanding all the lies of hispartizan presses, will get neither of the Western States,with the exception above mentioned. The West willdo its duty.May Maryland do hers."

Lessons from an Enemy!The Raleigh Register calls upon its Whig friends to

muster in ail their strength at the polls. We adopt itsimphatic invocation, and address it to our Republicanfriends, (mutatis mutandis:)."Let every mango to thePulls .Let it not be said, that one vote can make no difference;for let it be borne in mind, that aggregates are

made up of units..Let us bring out our whole strength!If we do so, the Stale can be carried (for) Van Buren, by10,000 majority. We speak advisedly, for we have informationfrom almost every section of the State. Noiisatfection exists among our friends, in any quarter.The work tgoes bravely on.'

Mr. Van Buren s Catholicism.We promised some time since to expose this humbug.

ind we have been lately reminded of it by a republican oflie West. We now lay before our readers the most condusivedocuments upon the subject. They will be foundm our iast page. The Whig of this City has, of course,mblished the humbug.and its cunning followers have,if course, repeated it.with what truth and justice, lethe public judge. " If (says the St. Clairsville Gazetteif the 22<1 Ocluber,) there be any honorable, high-mind

dmen, who may unfortunately belong to their ranks,me would think thai a reflection upon the unhallowednd unprincipled artifices, which are in daily requisitionnd incessant use by them, to carry their points, wouldo disgust them, as to see the necessity and prudence ofbrsaking so desperate and rotten a cause, in soine

ecliuns of country, some of the Whig prints have oscrtedthat Mr. Van Buren was a Methodist, and hence

hey say 'his facility in bawu.vo out glokv.' The(Hum and derision, which is thus wickedly attempted0 lie heaped upon that respectable denomination ofChristians, will, we doubt not, recoil upon its authorsnd abettors.and be spurned, and frowned down withonlempt, by the members of that numerous and honorblesect of the christian community."The Whig's logic is as false as its facts. We praised

Jen. Harrison once for his military services. Have we

etractcd a single expression thai we used 22 years ago?hi the contrary, have we not distinctly disclaimed everyuleniion, every wish, to pluck a single laurel from hisrow?.But because he has done the State some service1 the military line, does it therefore follow that he isossessed of any civil qualification? Because he mayave gained some eclat as a General, does it follow thate is fit for a President.Still more, that one, who is a

ederalist in his opinions and measures.ultra in his oposilionto the great Stale Rights School of Virginia.aving scarcely one principle in common with her.muld be selected to administer the Government? Theotion is preposterous. But Virginia will never voter a man, who on almost every great question has votedgainst her principles.

The two Competitors !Whilst Gen. Harrison was parading through Pennsylaniaand New York, Mr. Van Buren was quietly enmnccdat the village of Oswego. "We have accidentally

eard (says the Oswego Observer of Wednesday week)lat the \ ice President arrived at this place on Thursayof last week, and left on Monday morning last, inie packet."~DoeB not hie retirement protect him from

Bank, whose carpets were "too nice to be soiled with thefootsteps of Plebeians.and, therefore, none hnd the pre-sumption to call on his honor, unless they were particular-ly invited!".And the Evening Star litis the modesty tomend the matter by the remark, that "Mr. Van Buren is aperson that docs not (ike to shorn himself brforc the peoplefrom whom he is soliciting; the highest honor in their gilt." jThese Whigs are determined to find fault, let Mr. Vaniiuren do what he may. If he visits Albany, why he isallowing himself to the people, for the sake of election- |coring. If he retires to Oswego, Oh, then he "does notlilec In show himself before the jicn/ile, from whom he issol.ei'ing the highest honor in their gift." Mr. V. B.must he a much greater magician than he is said to he,if he should ever he able to do any one thing to pleaseany one of the Whigs.The Republicans of Virginia can enter into Resolutionsas well as the Whigs of the Green Mountains:

A PORTRAIT,.beautiful as it is just.FOH TJIK KX<iUlUEIl.

TO THE FEOrLE OK VIRGINIA.It will not be considered invidious to say, that you

have never been surpassed by any member of this Confederacy,for firm, uniform and consistent support ofthe equal principles which mark and distinguish the Democraticparly. Nor have you been less distinguishedfor your zealous and unwavering devotion to the Constitution,asit came Iroin the hands of the fathers of our

political church. You have lived above the petty conflictsthat agitate other communities, and have observeda port and bearing, that have given stability to honor,and dignity to independence.

Standing upon this broad and commanding elevation,you have wielded a moral influence, that the proudesthave not been ashamed to honor, and the humblest havefelt with pride. To preserve, unbroken, this enviablecharacter, is not less your duty, than it is your interest.Will you continue to be faithful to those high obligations?You are passing a severe ordeal, and the elections of the7th of November for President, will test your fidelity.

There are three candidates for this dignified otlice.allof them distinguished and honorable men: but, such arethe superior qualifications and paramount claims of one,that they seem most to demand your consideration.Mr. Van Buren has long been considered the popular

candidate for the Presidency; an l, until an Oppositionwas organised, it was thought that he would carry theelection by default. To defeat him, is now the hopeand effort of every movement. Faction has essayed notonly to dun llie lusire ol ins character, uut tu destroy it.

Venality has poured out its turbid stream to overwhelmhim.and the envious have stooped from high places todishonor and blast him. Vet, where do you litid him, indespite of this relentless crusade ? The incumbent of thesecond office under the Government, nnd the leadingcandidate for the first.

If but a modicum of what is said to injure Mr. Vanfiuren were true, he could never have reached his presentposition: nor, without strong and positive merit,could he have risen, through every giade of professionaland political life, to that eminence which he hasattained in both.and that, too, when the liar of his jState was crowded and adorned with its gieatest strength,and its political campaigns commanded by captains whostand immortalized on the page of history..It would bean imputation on the morals and the understanding ofthe people, to have honored him with all that they Hadto give, if he were the mere thing that his adversariesrepresent him to be. No; it is repugnant to commonsense and every induction of reason, to see cause and ef-feci so diametrically opposed.Surrounded, as Mr. Van liuren is, by a lynx-eyed Opposition,anxious to defeat him, what charge have they

ever brought against him, that was not either venial inits character or false in its allegations r Ingenuity andcorruption have not been backward in their work, andthey have been sfgnally dicomfitled. Not one act of hislife is shaded by dishonor; and his highest grade ofoffenceis, that he has not thought on many points of nationalpolicy, as some others have.arid that he has been stead-fast in the support of the principles and supremacy ofthe party to which he belongs.Trace Mr. Van Buren through the many and import-

ant offices that he has filled, and you will find that heleft them all with increased reputation for the ability andurbanity with which he discharged their respective duties.To reason from the results of the past to the prospectsof the future, is a sound dictate of reason and policy.Upon this principle, you iiave the surest guaranteefor all that you could require at the hands of your ChiefMagistrate.Mr. Van Buren comes before you with many claims

that you should, and no doubt that you will, delight tohonor. As n statesman, lie holds a rank equal lo themost distinguished of his cotemporaries, gained in thesame conflicts, and proved by iiis many triumphs, liisconstruction of the Constitution, (which is the sheetanchor of our whole polity,) his views of national poli-cy, and the principles winch identify him with tiie greatDemocratic family, are in exlenso those which are pro-nounced orthodox 111 Virginia. Throughout all the trialsand temptations of the vast theatre upon which lie hasborne so conspicuous a part, his vestments are withoutspot or blemish.his habits, feelings, associations andindulgences are all gentlemanly, and his commerce withevery grade of society is marked by great blandness,courtesy and good feeling, lie cherishes no bad pas-sions, and he achieves with address, moderation, sagacityand imperturbable rrood nature, what others attempt withmore boldness, more impulsion, less judgment and lessconsistency. And this is the secret of that magical pow-er, for which his adversaries have so much taunted hint.

In justice to Mr. Van IJuren, and injustice to your- j '

selves, you are bound to canvass his qualifications withimpartiality; biassed by no prejudice, and influenced byno indirection. This scrutiny will satisfy you that themany charges industriously circulated to his prejudiceor from ignorance of his true character, or the inventionsof ungenerous and ignoble adversaries. Ue has risentoo fast, and has been too much in the way of others, notto have such enemies, and they have mullipled in theratio of his advance. In this he has shared the fate of:those whom y u have most delighted to honor.YourWashington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe had theirrevilers; but through good and through evil report youstood by tliein as by your country s rights, nor ever

'

deserted them until the dilapidating hand of time pulleddown these pillars from our temple. Tu the same devotedand mugnanimous people Mr. Van Buren now appeals,and if lie has no Virginia birth-right to recommend him a

to you as they had, nor any Revolutionary services to '

canonize his name as they had, yet, his country thinks "

he has claims and recommendations, and the appeal is

made to you upon his own merits, fairly examined andjustly appreciated. j '

Jf lie shall be the choice of the nation, vnu have his jpledge-, that in all the essentials of the present Ad minis- 1

tration, he will use his exertions to carry out its policy.This policy has been tested by its success, and that is to '

be seen in the prosperity that every where smiles upon ;

our land, and in the ample f ruition of ail that constitutesnational happiness. CATO. ! j

Bedford, 25lh Oct., 163U. I" I was at Bedford Court on yesterday, and witnessed j

the most warm and animated discussion on the subjectof the approaching Presidential election I have ever hheard, it was conducted by John A. Wharton, Esq., n

one of the Whig orators of Liberty, who assailed the CDemocratic candidate, Mr. Van Buren's public and privatecharacter for more than half an hour, in the most

unsparing manner with many epithets of abuse.he de- si

clarcd him utterly unworthy the confidence or support pof any body: That he was the candidate of the Dicta- e

up by saying, he had much more to say but felt and saw Vthe people were tired and impatient. ll"Win. Cook, Esq., who heard all he said, and took a

few notes, rose to reply under obvious dejection of spi ferits. He commenced by stating his aversion to engaging tr

in such discussions, declared himself wholly unprepared, w

and adverted to a very recent family afBction, which Aunfitted him for such a task; but declared that the viewsand representations of men and measures jnst presented u

to the "voters of this county, were so glaringly and pal- n

dales which they supported, remain silent under the obloquyand odium which had so wantonly been lavishedupon them. He adverted very handsomely to the highand paramount motives of patriotism which promptedthe Republican party as well as the modern Belf-styledWhigs, to act with caution and circumspection, in theselection of the two highest officers in the Government,and pledged himself to prove, by documentary evidenceand the journals of.legislation, that the views just presentedby his friend; Mr. Wharton, of the candidates onboth sides were erroneous. He replied to the many objectionsand broad assertions made against Mr. Van liuren as above staled.enumerated the several importantLegislative, Executive,arid Ministerial offices, both Staleand National, which lie had filled, und the mannerin which he had acquitted himself in each;pronounced a handsome eulogium on his privatevirtues, liberal and tolerant views towards others; hiszeal, talents and patriotism; indeed, he presented him ina more attractive light than I had ever before seen him,and painted his course, conduct and opinions in glowingcolors..He then took up Judge White and Gen.Harrison.their course and opinions; dealt mildly withthe former, admitted his consistency and patriotism, untilsince he had fallen into the embraces of the Whigs,whose embraces of a Democrat by his consent, was certaindeath to him. He (hen proved, by extracts fromthe Journal of the Senate of the United States, thatGen. Harrison was always a Federalist and always actedwith them; contrasted his and Van Buren's votes inthat body with obvious effect; invoked the union of allpatriots in this election; exposed the object of the doubleticketItcre, a White ticket in Pittsylvania, a Harrisonticket in several Western counties. And wound up with abeautiful panegyric on the present Administration, itscourse anil etFeele mill Van ttnri.n's aift nnrl alinnnrl nfits leading measures, and his avowed determination tocarry out its course and measures. Upon the whole, itseffect was obvious, and although the Opposition calcnlaled on a most triumphant majority, of from 3 to 400 inBydfnrd, from that day's discussion, I should not be surprisedif Maj.

AMHERST COUNTY.At a meeting of a portion of the Republican CorrespondingCommittee for the county of Amherst, held at

the Court-house of said county on the JOth of September.1630, at which Chis.well Dabney, the chairman ofsaid committee, presided, and Joseph Pettyjohn (havingbeen appointed for the purpose) acted as Secretary, thefollowing preamble and resolutions were unnunouslyadopted, and by the committee respectfully submitted tothe impartial consideration of their Republican brethren,and especially lo the liberal and candid of all parlies generally..This committee, bearing in mind that great canon of

political ethics, -'that public liberty can no where be bo

safely trusted as in the hands of the people themselves,"and that its price is "perpetual vigilance," cannot regardthat man who has a vole lo bestow, and who docs notbestow it upon the individual, or individuals, whom, accordinglo the dictates of bis own unbiassed judgment,lie shall consider most marthy, as having discharged bisduty to his country or to his own conscience.but wouldlook upon him as better qualified lo sustain the corruptionsol' an imperial Court, than to be the citizen of a

free Government.The committee, well aware of the devices which dtsigningdemagogues practice, lo mislead and deceive the

less informed and more unsuspicious portions of thecommunity, and to cause them to cumpromit their ownbest interests.would say to all such, " hear both sides,"and then pursue the course, which, with a view singleto your country's good, you as honest men, not actingfor yourselves alone, but for posterity, shall conceivemost conducive to the lasting prosperity of the free institutionsunder which you live.institutions, which haveheretofore secured to you, blessings, civil and political,without a parallel in the annals of the world, and whichshould not be heedlessly thrown away, or put in jeopardyto humour the caprice or inflate the ambition ofany puliticol asjiiru/U, his aiders or abettors.The Committee arealsoaware that the question naturallyarises, how are the people to distinguish between

the good and the bad, the right and the icrong? and herethe answer again recurs, '-hear both sides," and thenchoose fur yourselves that tcliich you think best, withoutfear, favor or afleet ion. (as is the bounden duty of everyfreeman having a common interest in the destinies of ourbeloved country.) In whatever we do. circumstancedas we now are, there is but one safe rule.and that is,SKVKR TO DISCARD THIRD AND FAITHFUL SKRYANTS,as a mere matter of political speculation, without calculatingthe cost before hand, and arriving at somethinglike a moral certainty that, by so doing, our conditionwill not bo made worse, but probably better.The committee would address their fellow-citizens of

Feeling a lively and, as they trust, a patriotic increstthat the old county of Amherst, their abiding-place, |10 lately disenthralled Iron) the bonds of Ancjf.nt Fld- (:ra lism, may not again fall under its dominion, but may (naintain the ground she basso nobly taken by the side of 1

fou stand, anil be sure that you are not on the brink of a <

deaths"It is n painful duty to communicate the melancholy tidings, that

our able and worthy friend, Copt. Tiiomas Huskies, has paid thogreat debt of mortality. He died on tho 15th inst., at Holy Spring,his sent, in King At Queen county.aged 58 yeats. He left a mostaffectionate wife and two fond children to lament his loss. Friondahe had mnny; for, in the various departments of husband, fathsr, brother,friend, and master, lie was all that could have been desired in anyman. C.ipt. Ho-It ins served his countr) with tidelity and ability,both in a civil and military capacity; and at the lime of his death,was the presiding Magistrate of his peunty, in the ditcharfc of vhickditto, he was ever found the friend of the pour, thu itidoic and thtorphan.. In politics, Capt. Hoskins was a lirm and undeviating Republican,of the JelTerson school. But the pen of so humble an individual,as he who now attempts to portray his character, is totallyincompetent to do justice to that of so good a man. For, in his mindhorned the lamp of truth; from his heart rose the incenso of honor,and through his actions flowed tbo worm stream of benevolence..But, alas! Nature has hor demands, and in n tone and style too forrililoand intelligible to be misunderstood, speaks to Iter son: "Dustthou art, and unto dust thou shnlt return."
